To run VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions in a Kubernetes cluster, you must install a VMware Cloud Director Data Solutions operator.
The VMware Cloud Director Data Solutions operator is a backend service, which runs within each tenant Kubernetes cluster. The Data Solutions operator manages the lifecycle of user resources in Kubernetes clusters upon user requests, sent through VMware Cloud Director Resource Defined Entities. The resources include both data solution operators like VMware RabbitMQ operators for Kubernetes and data solution instances like VMware RabbitMQ. It deploys, upgrades and updates various data solutions in Kubernetes clusters on behalf of the user.
Note: After installing the
Data Solutions operator, you might observe certificate authority (CA) key pair error events in the
VMware Cloud Director extension for Data Solutions workload, until the CA key pair is verified. The process takes a few seconds.
